摘要

摘要本文旨在探讨美国电影理论的早期阶段,由于电影作为对话媒介的理论化,电影迷成为审美兴趣和批评的场所。根据斯坦利·卡维尔(Stanley Cavell)对美国一种独特的观影形式的分析(基于对电影的随意交谈),我认为,对爱默生普通美学的重新诠释一直是早期电影理论的核心,尤其是在瓦切尔·林赛(Vachel Lindsay)的著作中。为了说明捍卫一种新媒介与试图定义一种典型的美国艺术形式之间的关系,本文将重点放在林赛用来描述电影观众的“对话”概念上,并提供一种新的批判工具来把握电影美学的特殊性。

“The Hum of the Conversing Audience”: Ordinary Criticism and Film Culture in American Early Film Theory
Abstract This article seeks to explore the early stages of American film theory, where cinephilia became a site of aesthetic interest and criticism thanks to the theorization of cinema as a conversational medium. Following Stanley Cavell’s analysis of a distinct form of moviegoing in America, based on the casual conversation about movies, I argue that a reinterpretation of Emerson’s ordinary aesthetics has been at the core of early film theory, especially in Vachel Lindsay’s writings. In order to illustrate the relation between the defence of a new medium and the attempt to define a quintessentially American art form, this article focuses on the concept of “conversation” that Lindsay uses to describe film spectatorship and to provide a new critical apparatus to grasp the specificity of film aesthetics.
